No, this isn't an engine mod. If you have lowered your car with lowering springs, remove the front swaybar. Honda puts a huge front swaybar on the cars to prevent oversteer, so millions of old ladies with no idea of how to control a sideways car won't wreck and sue Honda. The sway bar dramatically stiffens up the front end which reduces front wheel traction(ie. steering). More front traction means more steering. If you have more steering you can go faster into corners and still have the ability to turn. SO basically, your car will handle a ton better. On a stock car this also helps reduce body roll, that why I reccomend that you do it to a lowered car which has significantly less body roll than a stock height car. I removed the sway bar on a friend's stock height 94 Prelude and it had so much body roll it was scary at times. The car was a lot more unstable at high speeds also. However on my car(which had race springs) and Chris's 90Si(which has lowering springs/struts) the handling was improved a ton. So if you lowered your car, take the front sway bar and all the hardware off and throw it in a corner of your garage. Then take your car to an open track event or autocross and rail on it around a few corners and if you know how to drive, you will see a difference, big time. You have to push the car to it's limit to notice the difference. If you're a wuss and you don't push the car you won't notice anything. I took mine off and never put if back on. Around low speed sharp corners I've had my 92 totally sideways before, that's how much steering it has. To remove the swaybar you need to jack up the car, put it on jackstands and remove both front wheels. There are two 12mm bolts attatching the mounts to the car, then there are two 12mm nuts attatching the swaybar to the front suspension. There won't be any tension on the bar and it pulls out over the exhaust downpipe. </TD></TR></TABLE>
this has to be the dumbest thing i have ever heard

Its different than stock, so technically wouldn't you be modifying?
You can get better brake cooling by removing the Shields (which can be a restriction of airflow). Wouldn't really be worth doing unless you do track events or wheel to wheel, but I know lots of people who have done it with good results.

Timing advancing can help but only go 1 or 2 degrees and get it done properly. The coolant bypass mod can also help, especially in conjunction with other heat reducing mods like hondata IM gasket and heat a wrapped header
